AUTHORIZE SOLICITATION OF BIDS FOR IP 06 -31 143 LANE / SUNFISH LAKE BOULEVARD STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer CASE #. Background: This project consists of the installation of approximately 600 feet of 15 inch storm sewer along 143 Lane and Sunfish Lake Boulevard to correct a long standing drainage problems in this area. At the present time drainage from 143 Lane is collected in roadside ditches and is discharged through a culvert across 143 Lane into the property located at 6384 143 Lane. Because this property is considerably lower than the surrounding area, the storm runoff collects in the rear yard and remains until it infiltrates into the sandy soil. A dry well has been constructed to enhance the infiltration, however, this rear yard has been chronically flooded. There is no drainage and utility easement on this property. This project will allow for the diversion of storm water from this property by the installation of a storm sewer along the north side of 143 Lane and the west side of Sunfish Lake Boulevard. The project will also remove the drywell and regrade the rear yard of the property to allow it to drain. The project is being undertaken at this time in conjunction with the development of the property on the west side of Sunfish Lake Boulevard since that development will provide an outlot to the adjacent wetland to the west. The project has been estimated to cost $60,000 and will be funded from the storm water utility fund. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve plans and specifications for IP 06 -31 and authorize the solicitation of bids for this project. Action: Motion to approve plans and specifications for IP 06 -31 and authorize the solicitation of bids for this project.
